65: Yan Wang Youhen

"I sent you away early back then, letting you leave Great Qian to seek a Revered Master at the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, originally to save your life..."

"But I never expected that you would dare to make an enemy of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect! Just who gave you the nerve!?"

"Now that you are wanted by the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, you still dare to come here? Are you trying to drag me down with you to the grave?!!!"

The man in the scholar's robe was extremely incensed, his expression unfriendly.

Xiao Chen bowed. "Uncle, please calm your anger."

"Who is your uncle!"

"Hmph!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I only have this one daughter, and she is uniquely infatuated with you, do you think you would be standing alive before me?"

"Xiao Chen knows his mistake." Xiao Chen's voice was low. "But there's a reason behind being hunted by the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect; I was framed!"

"Framed? Do you think the Seniors of the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect have nothing better to do than frame an ant like you who can be crushed at will?!"

"I am no fool! Xiao Chen, you know exactly what you've done!"

Xiao Chen's eyes dimmed, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashing through them.

"I know Uncle... Senior does not believe Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen doesn't care. The Dao Seeking Immortal Sect is powerful; whatever they say is the truth. Even if the truth isn't as the rumors suggest, they are still right. This is the rule of the Canglan Domain."

"Everything is decided by strength."

"My strength is currently low, and I admit I am no match for the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect. But one day, sooner or later, I, Xiao Chen, will rise above them. At that time, the truth will surface!"

"I, Xiao Chen, will also thoroughly unmask the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect's true face!"

The man in the scholar's robe stared into Xiao Chen's eyes, as if trying to see through him.

After watching for a long time, he sighed.

"Go. Leave the Canglan Domain and never return."

Xiao Chen shook his head. "I cannot leave yet. The things belonging to my Xiao Family, I must take them back."

The man's eyes turned cold. "Do you want to die!"

With a thud, Xiao Chen knelt on the ground.

"Uncle, Xiao Chen has returned this time for two reasons. First, to reclaim my Xiao Family's ancient treasure. It was stolen by that thief Qin Tian from the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect, and this Qin Tian is currently within the borders of Great Qian!"

"That is an ancestral treasure of my Xiao Family. Even if I, Xiao Chen, must risk my life, I can never let it remain in the hands of such a scoundrel."

"I ask for Uncle's help!"

"Hmph." The man said coldly, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, even if it is, I have already done all I could by saving you from the Empress. I have repaid the Xiao Family's kindness from back then. Why should I offend the Dao Seeking Immortal Sect for your sake?"

Xiao Chen lowered his head, his tone full of dejection. "I know Uncle still doesn't believe me, and I understand that without the Xiao Family, I am nothing."

"But even without Uncle's help, I will still do what needs to be done!"

The man was slightly taken aback.

"Uncle, besides the Xiao Family's ancient treasure, the second thing is that I wanted to see Qianqian and our child..."

!!!

The man suddenly looked up, his eyes widening, revealing an intense shock!

"What did you say!!!"

Pa!

The man grabbed Xiao Chen's throat.

"You and Qianqian have a child...!!!!"

"That's impossible!!!"

Xiao Chen grinned. "Does Uncle remember when you left Qianqian for several years...?"

Bang!

The man's pupils constricted, and he tightened his grip, about to crush Xiao Chen's throat.

"Xiao Chen, you really have a lot of nerve!"

"Un...cle... Qianqian and I... love each other..."

"The child... has also always wanted to see... his grandfather..."

"Bullshit!"

Boom!

The man's aura suddenly became chaotic.

"Revered Master, now is the chance!"

A wisp of grey mist suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes, surging directly into the man's brow at an incredible speed.

Instantly.

The man's body shook violently as he said in disbelief, "What did you do!"

"Ah—!!!"

Intense pain swept through his body. The man's spiritual power poured out, and his aura continued to weaken.

Xiao Chen coughed twice and rubbed his reddened neck, sneering, "Old man, Qianqian really is your weakness."

"It was just a lie full of holes, and yet you lost your composure. What a fool!"

"You—!"

The man's aura fell to rock bottom; he no longer even had the strength to stand up.

He didn't understand what kind of method Xiao Chen had used to make a powerhouse of the Reflection Realm like him completely defenseless.

"Prince Yan, my dear father-in-law, don't worry, I won't let you die. After all, in the future, you will personally send Qianqian and me into the bridal chamber!"

"You—!!!"

The man's blood boiled with rage, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hmph! Fool."

"Just be my pawn obediently!"

Xiao Chen raised his hand, and the Soul-Swallowing Seal floated in his palm.

"Revered Master, help me."

Grey light flickered, guiding the Soul-Swallowing Seal to be firmly planted in the man's Sea of Consciousness... A short while later, the man's eyes became vacant, and he slowly stood up: "Greetings, Revered Master."

"Hahahaha!"

Xiao Chen laughed uncontrollably. "I never expected it would be so easy to control Prince Yan."

"This Revered Master has consumed too much energy and needs to sleep for a while. If things become impossible, remember to save your own life."

"Revered Master, don't worry. That Old Woman Jin's death is near, and You Qian is about to become my woman. Once I plant the Soul-Swallowing Seal in her body, no one will know I've appeared in Great Qian."

"Now that Prince Yan is under my control, You Ruoli's hope of breaking through to the Creation Realm is nothing but a pipe dream!"

"Hahahaha!"

...In Huaixuan City, Qin Tian sat in a private room of a pavilion, constantly examining the Jade Slip You Ruoli had given him.

It recorded the life of Prince Yan, You Hen.

Yun Xi had no interest in this and silently sipped her tea.

Su Zhirou looked at the vastly different Huaixuan City with a sad heart, gazing out the window from afar, telling Su Ningying about the past affairs of the Su Family... "Kid, what are you looking at?" Hua Jianjia leaned in curiously next to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile. "Senior Hua, why have you been following us? Don't you need to regroup with the others from the Floating Cloud Immortal Palace?"

"No rush, no rush. It's rare to see Little Xi Xi; shouldn't we catch up properly?"

"Setting that aside, what are you looking at?"

Qin Tian smiled. "I'm looking at the life of the Great Qian's Prince Yan."

"By seniority, Prince Yan is You Ruoli's younger cousin. He has been exceptionally talented and powerful since childhood. His governance is orderly, and he is fair and strict, winning the hearts of the people. You Ruoli is in seclusion for long periods, so most government affairs are left to him. He is deeply trusted by You Ruoli."

"After Huaixuan City was destroyed, Prince Yan took over. In just twenty years, he restored this place from a dead city to its former prosperity, which is enough to see his ability."

"However, it seems his emotional life was somewhat unsatisfactory..."

"Emotional life? Tell me, tell me!" Hua Jianjia was curious.

Clearly, she cared more about this kind of gossip.

Qin Tian smiled. "Prince Yan, You Hen, was devoted in love. He only ever married one Princess Consort. But unfortunately, the consort's cultivation talent was not high. Prince Yan tried everything to extend her life, but in the end, he couldn't resist the will of heaven."

"After the consort passed away, she left behind a young daughter. Prince Yan dotes on her immensely, treating her as the pearl of his palm, granting her every request. And it seems she even had an engagement with Xiao Chen..."

Hua Jianjia's eyes lowered slightly, a bit disappointed. "So that's how it is. I thought there would be some plot about Prince Yan abandoning someone. How boring..."

Qin Tian: "..."

This Senior is definitely a gossip monger!

"But, is that Xiao Chen the one your Dao Seeking Immortal Sect wants to kill?"

Yun Xi nodded slowly.

Hua Jianjia rested her chin on one hand, leaning against the table. "To be engaged to someone like Xiao Chen, it seems this Prince Yan isn't that great either. At the very least, he definitely can't escape the charge of being a poor judge of character..."

Before she could finish her sentence.

With a bang.

The door was kicked open!

Following that was a sharp questioning voice:

"Who is so bold as to dare speak ill of my father and Brother Xiao Chen!"
